[B-Greek] Proleptic Aorist question

Thanks everyone for your help! The classical Greek
examples were very helpful and I'll have to look into
them more carefully. It seems that in any case the
Proleptic is pretty rare. I'd still be interested if
anyone knows of or can find an example in the LXX.

Regarding Chrysostom, Eric is correct of course, he
was speaking of baptism rather than believing per se.
But in relation to the Aorist question this still
leaves it as a past rather than a future. As with the
Peshitta, thanks Randall. So it remains curious that
these early sources did not read Romans 8:30 as a
Proleptic.

Albert Haig.
